Meet Kevin! Based in Atlanta, GA, he is an incredible designer of both products and interiors. We love his youthful, yet sophisticated style and are always excited for his latest creations. Read on to learn more about Kevin and how he incorporated some of our pieces in his home!
I’m a designer and Creative Director based in Atlanta. I started a design blog in high school, sharing original design projects there and on my Instagram @kfogara, which lead me to launch my own design studio and brand in college and work on both residential projects and my own product line including original area rugs and artwork under Kevin Francis Design. I’m now Creative Director for the furniture company and showroom Holland MacRae here in Buckhead. I live in Midtown with my two poodles Leopold and Persephone!
I describe my style as “New Regency Style” – a playful nod to the airy English Regency aesthetic and the edge of glamour found in old Hollywood design. Growing up in the South gave me an appreciation for the proportions of classical design, and I love to mix styles and utilize a contrast of new and old for a more collected look.
Each room in my apartment started with a strong color direction, and the hue for this space was olive green. I found the Lee Jofa fabric for the panels above my sofa and pulled both the olive and more lime-green color from this fabric, and utilized them to create a new rug leopard print design for this space as well (coming soon)! I love the texture of mohair!
I find inspiration in my childhood home and the beautiful homes around Atlanta – we have such incredible architecture in this city. I also love looking through European shelter magazines like The World of Interiors for the layered interiors you can only find across the pond. I find that nature is my favorite place to find color palettes, and luckily Atlanta is also an incredible jungle of floral inspiration.
I find that the foundational pieces you need to perform like upholstery, rugs, and large tables are worth investing in, and decorative accents like lamps, side tables, and accessories are worth hunting for (I love to spend time searching vintage markets for these). My surprising place to save may be drapery, because there are fantastic affordable pleated options available now.

Staying at a riad in Morocco is high on my bucket list.
